Radeon RX 7900 XT Cards Drop Below MSRP As GeForce RTX 4070 Holds Steady At $599

It wasn't all that long ago when finding a graphics card in stock and at the manufacturer's MSRP was a near-impossible task. A silicon and substrate shortage combined with a boom in cryptocurrency mining and opportunistic scalpers made it an unpleasant situation for gamers in need of an upgraded GPU. Fortunately, things have settled down since then. The newly minted GeForce RTX 4070 is widely available at NVIDIA's reference MSRP ($599) while deals abound for AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX and XT graphics cards—several Radeon cards are currently in stock at below MSRP.

That's not to say the value proposition is high with any of these models. Debating the cost-to-performance ratio and comparing to previous generation releases is an entirely different discussion. However, if you're in the market for a higher-end GPU, there are plenty of options available.

What you see above is ASRock's Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT with a custom three-fan cooling solution, RGB lighting, a metal backplate, and a factory overclock (up to a 2,450MHz boost clocks versus 2,394MHz). It's on sale for $779.99 at Newegg.

That's the least expensive Radeon RX 7900 XT around. While not cheap in a vacuum, it's worth noting that the Radeon RX 7900 XT launched at $899.


Several other models can be had for below MSRP as well, including AMD's own reference design—it's on sale for $849 at AMD's webstore. Here are some other discounted Radeon RX 7900 XT cards...
